Stepping into today’s colorful abode is at once breathtaking, inspiring, and like a big warm hug that invites you to sit down and stay awhile. That last part is no doubt due to the warmth of its owner, auburn-haired beauty, mother of 3, and talented Austin-based interior designer, Sarah Wittenbraker. Yep, Sarah would be easy to hate […]
From their customizable notebooks to their eye catching stationery, the Austin-based May Designs team knows how to use color and pattern to turn something ordinary into a party-on-paper. With that in mind, we knew we could count on the creative bunch to show us how to host a team-building gathering that’s anything but ice-breakers and trust falls. Their idea […]
photographed by jessica attie When we selected The Weston Dress by Isabel Marant Étoile for this installment of Double Take, we all agreed that the piece was fantastic — the fun bell sleeves, graphic print, and kimono shape make this mini dress one to covet. But how, we wondered, could such a bold statement dress […]
Besides the obvious.
Hope everyone’s having a lovely Valentine’s weekend and finding some fun little ways to indulge. We had a great “date night” at home last night — grilled pizzas and chocolate soufflés on the back patio (the weather was insanely gorgeous) followed by Jake Gyllenhaal’s flick Nightcrawler (not romantic, but still awesome.) Phoebe’s also fully embraced the holiday, and […]
When you’re working with a tight space, or a tight budget, a headboard can be one of those nice-to-have pieces that doesn’t quite make the cut. Don’t get me wrong I love the look of a low bed in the center of a sparse, white room, but in real life (and when you don’t live in […]
You know that girl — the one in your facebook feed with impossibly good hair. In EVERY photo. She automatically seems more confident, more successful, and more put-together, because our hair has such a big impact on our overall appearance. Thick, shiny, richly hued hair is a symbol of youth and health, so there’s no […]
photographed by priyanca rao For these three best friends and business partners, the hardest thing about happy hour these days is keeping the conversation off work. But hey, when you’re busy running a buzzed-about event design shop in Brooklyn, it’s impossible not to be excited about concepting the next big thing for your clients. “It’s […]
For some, it’s online shopping, for others, it’s their boxed set of Lost DVD’s… I, personally, get more than a tiny bit obsessive about new cookbooks (seriously, it’s a problem.) Over the holidays, I literally couldn’t stop reading At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen, the new vegetarian cookbook by chef Amy Chaplin. The mouthwatering photos, nourishing and simple […]
When I submitted my New Year’s resolution to this post last week, I wasn’t being entirely truthful. While I did mention that I’d resolved to be more of a morning person, I didn’t list the other half dozen resolutions I’ve embraced — probably more than any one person can realistically take on. In addition to waking up early, and cutting […]
We spend so much time making sure our homes look just right, but often neglect the space where we spend the majority of our waking hours: the workplace. Of course the type of work that you do will determine what’s appropriate for your office — after all, we can’t all have a wall-sized moodboard à la […]
